PEDS (Pediatric Assessment Tool)

PEDS, or Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, is a standardized assessment tool used by healthcare professionals to measure a child's functional abilities and independence across daily activities such as mobility, self-care, and communication. It helps identify areas where a child may need support or therapy, guiding treatment plans to improve their quality of life. PEDS provides a structured way to track progress over time and ensure interventions are tailored to the child's specific needs, ultimately supporting their development and participation in everyday activities.
